• Recheck table knob and bolts. They must be tightened
securely.
• Make sure all guards are properly attached. All guards
should be securely fastened.

interference.
• Make sure all fasteners are tight and have not vibrated loose.
• With power disconnected, test operation by hand for clear-
ance and adjust if necessary.
• Always wear eye protection or face shield.
• Make sure abrasive belt always tracks properly. Correct
tracking gives optimum performance.
• After turning switch on, always allow belt and disc to come
up to full speed before sanding or grinding.
• Be sure disc turns counterclockwise. Abrasive belt must
travel downward.
• Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with the direction-
al arrows.

speed. Do not force the work into the abrasive.
* Always support workpiece with table or work stop when
sanding with belt and with table when sanding with disc.
* Never push a sharp corner of the workpiece rapidly against
the belt or disc. Abrasive backing may tear.
* Replace abrasives when they become loaded (glazed) or
frayed.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.

Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment. Always wear MSHA/NIOSH

such tools.
